Yesod, WebSockets and Persistent

This is how I think it should look like.

{-# LANGUAGE QuasiQuotes, TypeFamilies, GeneralizedNewtypeDeriving, TemplateHaskell, OverloadedStrings, GADTs, FlexibleContexts #-}
module Main where
import Control.Monad.IO.Class (liftIO)
import Data.String (fromString)
import Database.Persist
import Database.Persist.TH
import Database.Persist.Sqlite
import Network.Wai.Application.Static (staticApp, defaultWebAppSettings, defaultFileServerSettings)
import Network.Wai.Handler.Warp (runSettings, defaultSettings, settingsIntercept, settingsPort)
import Network.Wai.Handler.WebSockets (intercept)
import qualified Network.WebSockets as WS

share [mkPersist sqlSettings, mkMigrate "migrateAll"] [persistUpperCase|
Person
    name String
    age Int
    deriving Show
|]

ws :: WS.Request -> WS.WebSockets WS.Hybi10 ()
ws r = do
    WS.acceptRequest r
    liftIO $ runSqlite ":memory:" $ do
        runMigration migrateAll
        michaelId <- insert $ Person "Michael" 26
        michael <- get michaelId
        liftIO $ print michael

main :: IO ()
main = runSettings defaultSettings
    { settingsPort = 9160
    , settingsIntercept = intercept $ ws
    } $ staticApp (defaultFileServerSettings $ fromString ".")

If you're looking to run a Handler monad yourself, you can use runFakeHandler.
